Mairangi Bay, Auckland

Coaching & Instruction (Sport & Recreation)

Full time

Coaching is a top priority for High Performance Sport NZ (HPSNZ). New Zealand has a small talent base of coaches, so it is critical that HPSNZ support for coaches assists them to accelerate their development and performance. Reporting to the Head of High-Performance Coaching, the primary purpose of the High-Performance Coaching Consultant role is to enable HP coaches and National Sport Organisations (NSOs) to provide athletes with the coaching they need. Furthermore, the role will lead the Core Knowledge program an HPSNZ coach education initiative designed to elevate essential knowledge and critical skills early in the High-Performance Coach pathway.

The role will suit candidates experienced in influencing and facilitating behavioural change in people and organisations. These experiences may have been gained:

• directly in high performance (HP) sport either as a Coach or HP Director
• through working in leadership, coaching or mentoring capacity with high achievers in a non-sport environment.

Candidates will need to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements of HP coaches and best practice in HP coaching.

This is an exciting time to be joining HPSNZ. You will be part of a world's best organisation and working alongside a highly professional, committed, passionate team with an absolute focus on ensuring New Zealand's athletes and teams win on the world stage.
